Nodular mucinosis of the breast: A rare entity

Abstract

Nodular mucinosis of the breast (NMB) is an uncommon
disease involving the nipple-areolar region. It usually presents
with asymptomatic, subcutaneous masses with indolent growth
in women. Here, we report a 43-year-old man presented with
a subcutaneous growth on the left nipple. Histopathological
examination confirmed the diagnosis of NMB. We report our
patient in order to point out this rare disease and think that the
recognition of of this entity is important for both clinicians and
pathologists.
